Montage Editing Techniques

One of Pudovkin's techniques that interests me is parallelism because I love how one scene can seamlessly flow into the other in a way that's visually appealing. I definitely want to use this technique in the future because it makes it easy to jump from one location to another, and I find that hard to do because it can disrupt the flow of a story. For its application in the modern movies clips, it's apparent that parallelism adds a degree of elegance to each scene shift because the viewer can pull matching elements out of both, so regardless how drastic the transition, it just seems natural. I find that interesting because most editors try to hide their transitions and make them seem unnoticeable, but this technique is supposed to be highlighted, so it can be appreciated. Overall, I think parallelism is a useful technique that can add appeal, but it must be executed properly, or the filmmaker risks confusing their audience.
